Psalm 139:17
"How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!"
"God's omniscience, which might have justly watched over us to do us hurt, has been employed for us, and has watched over us to do us good....
[God's thoughts] are deep in themselves, such as cannot possibly be fathomed and comprehended. Providence has had a vast reach in its dispensations concerning us, and has brought things about for our good quite beyond our contrivance and foresight.
They are dear to us; we must think of them with a great deal of reverence, and yet with pleasure and thankfulness. Our thoughts concerning God must be delightful to us, above any other thoughts....
We cannot conceive how many God's kind counsels have been concerning us, how many good turns He has done us, and what variety of mercies we have received from Him....We cannot conceive the multitude of God's compassions, which are all new every morning." ~Matthew Henry
